[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] Because three groups of fins with different directions are assembled as a batch during the assembly of the condenser, at the manual workstation, the worker manually adjusts (flips) the forward and reverse directions of the incoming fin groups with the same direction, and then the fin transfer mechanism transfers each group of fins to the assembly station 18 in turn, and the copper tube pushing mechanism 6 cooperates with the copper tube guiding mechanism 7, the copper tube alignment mechanism 8, and the copper tube limiting mechanism 9 to connect the copper tube with the guide pin and then insert the copper tube into the fin channel to complete the copper tube insertion process. The manual workstation is equipped with a visual camera system to collect and monitor the direction of the fins to ensure that the fin direction is correct. The visual camera system is a prior art and its principle will not be repeated here.

[0048] The present invention discloses a device for inserting a metal tube of a heat exchanger in the field of refrigeration. The device provides guidance and limitation for the copper tube before the copper tube is inserted into the fin channel by means of a copper tube guiding mechanism, a copper tube alignment mechanism and a copper tube limiting mechanism in cooperation with a fin transfer mechanism, a guide needle reflux mechanism and a copper tube pushing mechanism, thereby ensuring that the copper tube can be accurately aligned and connected with the guide needle, and at the same time improving the connection efficiency between the copper tube and the guide needle and the insertion efficiency of the copper tube, thereby avoiding the problem that the guide needle and the copper tube are misaligned and the copper tube cannot be inserted into the fin channel, and the production quality of the condenser can be improved.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3-5 As shown, the guide needle reflux mechanism 5 includes a base 52, a guide needle support 53, a guide needle mounting frame 54 and a guide needle pushing device 55;

The push column 551 is arranged on the push column frame 552 in the horizontal direction, and the push column frame translation device drives the push column to drive the guide needle on the guide needle mounting frame close to the end of the fin transfer mechanism into the fin channel at the assembly station close to one end of the copper tube pushing mechanism.

[0053] Specifically, a guide needle sleeve is transversely arranged on the guide needle mounting frame 54, and the guide needle 51 is arranged in the guide needle sleeve; the guide needle translation device 57 (linear module) includes a guide needle support translation drive motor, a guide needle support translation guide rail, and a guide needle support slider. The guide needle support translation guide rail is arranged on the base, and the bottom of the guide needle support is installed on the guide needle support translation guide rail through the guide needle support slider. The guide needle support slider is fixedly connected to the guide needle support nut, and the guide needle support nut is arranged on the guide needle support lead screw connected to the guide needle support translation drive motor. The guide needle support translation drive motor is arranged on the base; the guide needle support translation drive motor drives the guide needle support, the guide needle mounting frame and the guide needle to reciprocate along the guide needle support translation guide rail on the completion side and the insertion side of the fin transfer mechanism;

[0054] The guide needle lifting device 56 includes a guide needle lifting rail and a guide needle lifting drive motor. The guide needle lifting rail is vertically arranged on the guide needle mounting frame 54. The guide needle support 53 is provided with a guide needle lifting slider, which is installed on the guide needle lifting rail. The oil plug end of the guide needle lifting drive cylinder is connected to the guide needle mounting frame 54, thereby driving the guide needle mounting frame to move along the guide needle lifting rail toward or away from the fin transfer mechanism, so that the guide needle can be raised to the vertical position of the fin channel on the insertion side to facilitate the insertion of the guide needle into the fin channel, and can be raised to the guide needle driven out of the channel by the copper tube after use on the completion side for recovery, and also allows the guide needle to be lowered to the lower side of the fin transfer mechanism for convenient transportation, which is convenient for subsequent processes;

[0055] The push column frame moving seat lifting device 554 includes a moving seat lifting cylinder, a moving seat slide rail, and a moving seat slider. The moving seat slide rail is vertically installed on the guide needle support. The push column frame moving seat is installed on the moving seat slide rail through the moving seat slider. The moving seat lifting cylinder is arranged on the guide needle support and the piston end is connected to the push column frame moving seat. It can drive the push column frame to rise to the same horizontal position as the guide needle by driving the push column frame moving seat and the push column frame to rise.

[0056] The push column frame translation device 555 includes a translation slide rail and a translation drive cylinder horizontally arranged on the push column frame moving seat. The bottom of the push column frame is installed on the translation slide rail through the push column frame translation slider. The driving end of the translation drive cylinder is connected to the push column frame. It can move the push column that has been driven to the same horizontal position as the guide needle in the direction close to the guide needle to push the guide needle into the fin channel. After the process is completed, the push column is reset by the translation drive cylinder and the moving seat lifting cylinder.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the copper tube guide mechanism 7 includes an upper guide portion 71 and a lower guide portion 72 which are arranged opposite to each other in the upper and lower directions. The upper guide portion can be driven to rise and fall on the stand 20 by a guide mechanism lifting device 73. The lower guide portion is installed on the upper guide portion and can be driven to move closer to or away from the upper guide portion in the vertical direction by a lower guide portion driving device 74. When the lower guide portion 72 abuts against the upper guide portion 71, the two form a first copper tube guide hole. Specifically, a vertical plate 75 is fixed on the stand. The guide mechanism lifting device 73 includes a guide mechanism lifting slider and a guide mechanism lifting cylinder installed on the stand. The guide mechanism lifting rail is arranged on the vertical plate 75 fixed on the upper guide portion in the vertical direction. The guide mechanism lifting slider is installed on the guide mechanism lifting rail. The driving end of the guide mechanism lifting cylinder is connected to the top of the upper guide portion and can drive the upper guide portion and the lower guide portion to rise and fall along the guide mechanism lifting rail by driving the vertical plate to rise and fall.

[0058] The lower guide driving device 74 includes a lower guide driving cylinder 741 and a lower guide driving slide rail. The lower guide driving slide rail is arranged on a guide rail mounting plate 742 installed on the upper guide part. The lower guide part is installed on the vertical lower guide driving slide rail through a lower guide driving slider. The lower guide driving cylinder is fixed on the upper guide part, and its driving end is connected to the lower guide part, thereby realizing the movement of the lower guide part along the lower guide driving slide rail toward or away from the upper guide part; before the guide needle reflux mechanism 5 drives the guide needle to be installed on the fin channel, the guide mechanism lifting cylinder drives the upper and lower guide parts to rise together on the stand to make way for the installation of the guide needle. After the guide needle reflux mechanism 5 drives the guide needle to be installed on the side of the fin channel close to the copper tube pushing mechanism 6, and before the tail end of the copper tube is connected to the guide needle on the fin, the guide mechanism lifting cylinder drives the upper and lower guide parts to descend together until the first copper tube guide hole is coaxial with the guide needle, and the copper tube pushing mechanism drives the tail end of the copper tube to enter the first In the copper tube guide hole, the first copper tube guide hole can guide and limit the rear end of the copper tube to ensure that the copper tube can be aligned with the guide pin position, thereby ensuring that the copper tube can be accurately connected to the guide pin. Since the head end of the copper tube to be inserted into the fin is a U-shaped end, the U-shaped end will be continuously driven by the copper tube driving mechanism to move in the direction close to the copper tube guide mechanism during the process of inserting the copper tube into the fin channel. When the head end of the copper tube moves to the vicinity of the upper and lower guide parts, the lower guide part driving cylinder drives the lower guide part to move away from the upper guide part, and the upper and lower guide parts are separated. At the same time, the guide mechanism lifting device 73 drives the upper and lower guide parts to rise (the purpose is to drive the upper guide part to rise and make way), and the upper and lower guide parts make way for the U-shaped end, so that the copper tube can continue to move and be inserted into the fin channel to complete the assembly of the heat exchanger; after the head end of the copper tube passes the position of the upper and lower guide parts, the guide mechanism lifting device and the lower guide part driving cylinder drive the lower guide part and the upper guide part to reset, and prepare to guide the insertion of the next layer of copper tubes.

[0059] At the same time, the upper guide part and the lower guide part are driven to rise and fall on the stand 20 through the guide mechanism lifting device 73, so that the vertical height of the first copper tube guide hole used to guide the copper tube to the upper surface of the assembly station 18 can be adjusted, that is, the vertical height of the first copper tube guide hole to the fin channel can be adjusted, so that the device can align the positions of copper tubes of different models (different diameters) with the fin channels in the vertical direction, so that copper tubes of different models can be pushed into the fins.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3-4 As shown, the copper tube alignment mechanism 8 includes an alignment baffle 81 and an alignment baffle driving device 82. The alignment baffle 81 is vertically installed on one side of the upper guide portion 71 close to the fin transfer mechanism 4. The alignment baffle driving device 82 can drive the alignment baffle down to a horizontal position where the bottom of the alignment baffle is lower than the bottom of the first copper tube guide hole.

[0061] Specifically, the alignment baffle driving device 82 includes a vertically arranged alignment baffle guide rail and an alignment baffle driving cylinder 821, the alignment baffle guide rail is arranged on the alignment baffle, the upper guide portion is provided with an alignment baffle slider, the alignment baffle slider is installed on the alignment baffle guide rail, the alignment baffle driving cylinder is arranged on the upper guide portion, and its driving end is connected to the alignment baffle; after the tail end of the copper tube enters the first copper tube guide hole formed by the lower guide portion and the upper guide portion of the copper tube guide mechanism, the alignment baffle is driven by the alignment baffle driving cylinder to descend along the alignment baffle slider to the bottom of the alignment baffle below the first copper tube guide hole Toward the horizontal position at the bottom of the hole, as the copper tube is continuously driven forward by the copper tube pushing mechanism 8, the tail end of the copper tube can move to abut against the side plate surface of the alignment baffle close to the upper guide part, thereby realizing the alignment process of the copper tube. After the copper tube is aligned, the alignment baffle is driven up by the alignment baffle driving cylinder, and the copper tube continues to move forward and connects with the guide pin on the fin channel; setting up the copper tube alignment mechanism can ensure the precise alignment of the connection position of the copper tube and the guide pin, thereby ensuring the accurate connection of the copper tube and the guide pin, and then ensuring the insertion quality and efficiency of the copper tube as well as the processing quality and efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, a copper tube comb guide mechanism 15 is also included, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the copper tube tooth comb guide mechanism includes a tooth comb plate 151 and a tooth comb plate driving device 152. The tooth comb plate is vertically arranged on a side of the stand 20 close to the fin transfer mechanism 4. The tooth comb plate can be driven by the tooth comb plate driving device to rise and fall on the stand 20. A tooth groove 151a is arranged at the bottom of the tooth comb plate. During the process of inserting the copper tube into the fin channel, the copper tube section is placed in the tooth groove. The stand 20 is arranged between the fin transfer mechanism 4 and the copper tube pushing mechanism 8.

[0063] The tooth comb plate driving device 152 includes a tooth comb plate guide column 152a and a tooth comb plate driving cylinder 152b arranged on the stand 20.

The tooth comb plate driving cylinder is arranged on the tooth comb plate mounting frame, and its driving end is fixedly connected to the tooth comb plate connecting plate. The tooth comb plate driving cylinder drives the tooth comb plate connecting plate to rise and fall along the guide column, thereby driving the tooth comb plate downward. The tooth groove of the tooth comb plate is lowered to the same level as the copper tube or is raised to move away from the copper tube; a clamping column 152e is also provided at the position corresponding to the tooth groove of the tooth comb plate. When the copper tube is inserted into the fin, two sections of a copper tube are placed in a tooth groove, and the top of the copper tube section is pressed down by the clamping column (non-clamping and immobile state), so as to limit the position of the copper tube during the insertion process, prevent the copper tube from being displaced or moved in the vertical direction, and cooperate with the tooth groove to ensure the stability of the position of the copper tube during the insertion process, thereby ensuring the insertion quality and efficiency of the copper tube;

[0064] In addition, a copper tube tooth comb guide mechanism 15 is also provided on the finished side 41 of the fin transfer mechanism. A tooth comb plate driving device is also installed on the fin transfer frame, and can drive the tooth comb plate to descend to a position corresponding to the tooth groove and the fin channel. Before the tail end of the copper tube extends out through the fin channel, the tail end of the copper tube is limited and pressed down, thereby limiting the tail end of the copper tube, and then ensuring that the guide needle connected to the tail end of the copper tube can smoothly and efficiently enter the guide needle sleeve of the guide needle reflux mechanism, thereby completing the recovery of the guide needle.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, Figure 7-8 As shown, the copper tube limiting mechanism 9 includes an upper limiting structure 91 and a lower limiting structure 92 which are arranged on the vertical frame 20 near the copper tube pushing mechanism and can move relative to each other. When the copper tube is in the position to be inserted, the tail end of the copper tube is placed in the second copper tube guide hole formed by the upper limiting structure and the lower limiting structure.

[0066] Specifically, the upper limit structure is connected to the frame through an upper limit driving device 93, and the lower limit structure is arranged on a lower limit structure mounting plate 95 located on the lower side of the frame and vertically fixed on the copper tube bracket 61 through a lower limit driving device 94. The upper limit driving device includes an upper limit driving cylinder and an upper limit guide column. The two ends of the guide column are respectively connected to the upper limit structure and the bracket. The upper limit driving cylinder drives the upper limit structure to move along the upper limit guide column to move closer to or away from the lower limit structure; the lower limit driving device includes a lower limit driving cylinder and a lower limit guide rail. The lower limit guide rail is vertically arranged on the lower limit structure. The lower limit structure mounting plate is provided with a lower limit slider, which is installed on the lower limit guide rail. The lower limit driving cylinder is arranged on the lower limit structure mounting plate, and the piston end is connected to the lower limit structure, which can drive the lower limit structure to move closer to or away from the upper limit structure along the lower limit guide rail. Movement; before the copper tube is placed in the position to be inserted, the upper and lower limit structures are driven to separate by their respective driving guide devices. When the copper tube is driven by the copper tube removal mechanism and placed in the position to be inserted, the tail end of the copper tube is placed in the semicircular groove provided on the lower limit structure, and the upper limit driving device drives the upper limit structure to descend until the semicircular groove thereon and the semicircular groove provided on the lower limit structure form a second copper tube guide hole, and the tail end of the copper tube is arranged in the second copper tube guide hole. During the process of inserting the copper tube into the fin, the upper and lower limit structures play a limiting role on the tail end of the copper tube and the copper tube section, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the position of the copper tube when it is driven; when the head end of the copper tube approaches the upper and lower limit structures, the upper and lower limit structures are driven away (separated) by their respective driving guide devices to make way for the head end of the copper tube, so that the head end of the copper tube can smoothly pass through the gap between the upper and lower limit structures and be inserted into the fin channel, thereby completing the assembly of the heat exchanger;

[0067] In a specific embodiment, Figure 7-8As shown, the copper tube pushing mechanism 6 includes a copper tube bracket 61 and a tube pushing unit 62 arranged on the copper tube bracket; the to-be-inserted position 29 is arranged on the copper tube bracket, and the copper tube to be inserted is placed at the to-be-inserted position along the lateral direction;

[0068] The tube pushing unit 62 is arranged on the side of the insertion position away from the fin transfer mechanism 4. The tube pushing unit includes a transversely arranged tube pushing device 621 and a tube pushing driving device 622 and a copper tube supporting device 623 connected to the tube pushing device. When the copper tube is placed at the insertion position, the head end of the copper tube is placed on the copper tube supporting device. The tube pushing driving device drives the head end of the copper tube to move toward the direction close to the fin transfer mechanism 4 by driving the tube pushing device, so that the tail end of the copper tube is connected to the guide pin on the fin channel, and the copper tube is completely inserted into the fin channel and the guide pin is pushed out of the fin channel from the finished side.

[0069] Specifically, the stand 20 is arranged on one side of the copper tube bracket 61 close to the fin transfer mechanism 4; the tube pusher device 621 includes a push rod slide rail 621a, a push rod slider, a push rod bracket 621b, a push rod 621c, a push block 621d and a push rod support structure 621e; the push rod driving device 622 includes a push rod driving motor 622a, a push rod screw and a push rod nut; one end of the horizontally arranged push rod is fixed on the push tube bracket, and the other end is provided with a push block 621d with an arc groove, the middle part of the push rod is fixed in the limiting hole of the push rod support structure installed on the push rod slide rail 621a through a sliding slider, the push rod slide rail is arranged on the copper tube bracket 61 along the extension direction of the push rod (the direction is consistent with the direction from the finished side to the processing side of the fin transfer mechanism), the bottom of the push rod bracket is installed on the push rod slide rail through a push rod slider, the bottom of the push rod bracket is installed with a push rod nut, and the push rod nut is installed on the push rod screw connected to the push rod drive motor;

[0070] The copper tube supporting device 623 includes a supporting base plate 623a and a supporting plate 623b connected to the supporting base plate through a height adjustment column. The supporting base plate is arranged on the side of the push rod close to the copper tube guide mechanism 7. The supporting base plate is installed on the push rod slide rail through the supporting base plate and is connected to the push rod support structure 621e through an elastic device. When the copper tube is placed in the position to be inserted, the head end of the copper tube is placed on the supporting plate. The height adjustment column can adjust the vertical height of the supporting plate, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the head end of the copper tube.

[0071] When the copper tube is driven by the copper tube removal mechanism 2 to the insertion position, the head end of the copper tube is placed on the support plate, and the tail end of the copper tube is placed in the second copper tube guide hole formed by the upper limit structure and the lower limit structure of the copper tube limiting mechanism. Then the push rod driving motor drives the push rod nut to move on the push rod screw by driving the push rod screw to rotate, and then drives the push rod bracket, the push rod and the push rod limiting structure to move along the push rod slide rail toward the copper tube. The push block on the push rod drives the head end (U-shaped end) of the copper tube to move toward the fin. Before the push block contacts the head end of the copper tube, the support plate does not move, and the elastic device is compressed. When the push block moves to contact the head end of the copper tube After that, the elastic device is completely compressed, and as the push rod continues to push the copper tube forward, it can drive the supporting plate, the supporting bottom plate, and the copper tube to move toward the fin by driving the elastic device and the push rod support structure to move, thereby driving the tail end of the copper tube to connect with the guide pin on the fin. As the push rod continues to push forward (the finished side of the fin transfer mechanism 4), the guide pin and the copper tube successively enter the channel of the fin to be assembled. When the copper tube is inserted, the guide pin is pushed out of the fin channel and recovered by the guide pin reflux mechanism that moves to the finished side. The tube pushing device is reset to prepare for the copper tube insertion process of the next layer.

The specific component action process is consistent with the above-mentioned process of clamping, transporting and placing the fin on the assembly station.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, Figure 11-12 The heat exchanger operation mechanism 17 is also provided on one side of the fin transfer mechanism 4, which is used to clamp the heat exchanger on the working platform 28 that has been pulled to the lower side of the heat exchanger operation mechanism 17 by the pulling mechanism, and can lift, translate and lower the heat exchanger to the next station;

[0079] The heat exchanger operation mechanism 17 includes an operation fixing frame 171, an operation frame 172, an operation device mounting plate 173 and an operation device 174. The two ends of the operation frame are slidably mounted on the operation fixing frame. The operation device mounting plate is mounted on the lower side of the operation frame and can be driven to rise and fall by a mounting plate lifting device 175. The two ends of the bottom of the operation device mounting plate are respectively provided with operation devices 174 that can be driven to move closer or farther relative to each other by an operation driving device 177. The operation device is provided with an operation table 179 that is horizontally arranged and can move to the lower side of the heat exchanger and lift the heat exchanger. The running frame is driven by the running frame translation device 176 to move horizontally on the running fixed frame. The running frame translation device includes a running frame motor and a running frame guide rail. The running frame guide rail is horizontally arranged on the running fixed frame. Both ends of the running frame are respectively installed on the running frame guide rail through a running frame slider.

The specific process is: the mounting plate lifting cylinder drives the operating device mounting plate to descend along the operating frame guide rail, and drives the operating platforms of the first operating device and the second operating device to a height lower than the bottom of the copper tubes extending from the two side ends of the heat exchanger. Then the operating drive motor drives the second operating device to move along the second operating guide rail toward the first operating device. The operating platform of the second operating device drives the copper tubes extending from both sides of the heat exchanger to the lower side of the two operating platforms placed on the first and second operating devices. Then the mounting plate lifting cylinder drives the operating device mounting plate and the operating device thereon to descend along the mounting frame guide rail. The plate guide column rises to lift the heat exchanger, and finally the operating frame motor drives the operating frame and the operating device to move along the operating frame rail to drive the heat exchanger to the next station. The operating device is driven down by the mounting plate lifting cylinder to place the heat exchanger on the next station. The operating drive cylinder drives the first operating device to separate from the copper tube on the heat exchanger, and the operating drive motor drives the second operating device to separate from the copper tube on the heat exchanger. The operating frame is reset to prepare for the heat exchanger operating mechanism to clamp and operate the next heat exchanger; when the model (size) of the heat exchanger to be operated changes, the operating drive cylinder drives the first operating device to move along the first operating rail toward or away from the second operating device to change the distance between the first operating device and the second operating device to adapt to the lifting of heat exchangers of different models. ;

[0080] In a specific embodiment, Figure 13-14As shown, it also includes a copper tube lifting and loading mechanism 1 and a copper tube taking-out mechanism 2 arranged on the upper side of the copper tube lifting and loading mechanism; the copper tube lifting and loading mechanism includes a bracket for supporting the copper tube taking-out mechanism 2, a loading unit 11 for driving a loading platform 111 carrying the copper tube to be inserted to move to the lower side of the copper tube taking-out mechanism, and a copper tube lifting unit 12 arranged on the bracket for driving the loading platform to rise to approach the copper tube taking-out mechanism 2 and obtain the rising stroke of the loading platform; the copper tube taking-out mechanism 2 includes a lifting unit 21, a translation unit 22, a clamping unit 23, a layer height detection unit 24 and a mounting frame 25; the mounting frame 25 is arranged on the bracket, the translation unit 22 is arranged on the mounting frame and can move laterally from the upper side of the copper tube lifting and loading mechanism to the mounting frame On the upper side of the insertion position 29 of the copper tube pushing mechanism 6, the lifting unit 21 is installed on the translation unit 22, and the layer height detection unit 24 and the clamping unit 23 are installed on the lifting unit 21, and the clamping unit is arranged on both sides of the layer height detection unit. The lifting unit can drive the layer height detection unit and the clamping unit to descend toward the direction of the copper tube 3 on the loading table and reach the set position, the layer height detection unit can detect the copper tube rising to the set position and send the detection signal to the controller, and the clamping unit 23 can clamp the two ends of the copper tube rising to the set position; the copper tube lifting unit 12 can send the rising stroke when the loading table rises from the initial position to the top layer of the copper tube on the loading table to the set position to the controller.

[0081] If the number of layers (layer height) of the inserted copper tubes stacked from bottom to top on the loading platform meets the actual production requirements, the lifting unit 21 and the translation unit 22 drive the layer height detection unit 24 to move to the set position on the upper side of the copper tube lifting and loading mechanism 1, then the layer height detection unit 24 can detect the copper tubes on the loading platform when the loading platform is in the initial position, and send the detection signal to the controller, and at the same time, the clamping unit 23 clamps the top layer of the copper tube on the loading platform, and then drives the clamped copper tube to the next process station for inserting the copper tube through the lifting unit 21 and the translation unit 22; if the number of layers (layer height) of the inserted copper tubes stacked on the loading platform does not meet the actual production requirements, the layer height detection unit 24 cannot detect the copper tubes on the loading platform after being driven to the set position by the lifting unit 21, and the copper tubes on the loading platform are not A signal will be detected and sent to the controller, and then the copper tube lifting unit 12 will drive the copper tubes on the loading platform to rise along the bracket. After the layer height detection unit 24 detects the signal, the copper tube lifting unit 12 will obtain the rising stroke of the loading platform from the initial position to the top layer of copper tubes on the loading platform when it rises to the set position and sends it to the controller. The controller can calculate the total number of layers of copper tubes on the loading platform according to the rising stroke, combined with the known actual production setting of the total copper tube layer height and the diameter (layer height) of each layer of copper tubes, that is, the layer height of the copper tubes can be obtained (the calculation formula is: the known actual production setting of the total copper tube layer height - (rising stroke ÷ the known layer height of each layer of copper tubes)). The controller is a prior art, and the process and principle of receiving signals and data and calculating the total number of copper tube layers will not be repeated here. By providing the copper tube lifting unit and loading unit of the copper tube lifting and loading mechanism and the lifting unit and layer height detection unit of the copper tube taking-out mechanism, the total layer height of the copper tubes to be inserted into the fins can be detected, thereby ensuring the number of inserted copper tubes. This device avoids manual detection of the copper tube layer height and automatically realizes the copper tube layer height detection, with accurate and efficient results. The number of inserted copper tubes can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the quality of the condenser.

[0082] In a specific embodiment, Figure 19-23 As shown, the floor height detection unit 24 includes a fixing sleeve 241, a connecting rod 242, a spring 243, a contact plate 244, a sensor 245 and a detection plate 246;

[0083] The fixing sleeve 241 is fixed on the connecting frame provided on the lifting unit 21, the connecting rod 242 is vertically arranged and slidably arranged in the fixing sleeve 241, the bottom of the connecting rod 242 extends out of the fixing sleeve 241 and is connected to the contact plate 244 arranged in the horizontal direction, the top of the connecting rod 242 extends out of the fixing sleeve 241 and is connected to the detection plate 246, the spring 243 is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom of the connecting rod 242, the top of the spring 243 abuts against the bottom of the fixing sleeve 241, and the bottom abuts against the top surface of the contact plate 244; the sensor 245 is arranged on the connecting frame 26; the translation unit drives the contact plate 244 of the layer height detection unit to the top of the copper tube on the loading platform 111 by driving the lifting unit and the connecting frame. If the number of layers of copper tubes on the loading platform 111 at this time meets the number of layers (layer height) required by actual production, then in the process of the lifting unit driving the layer height detection unit to descend to the set position, the bottom surface of the contact plate 244 first abuts against the uppermost layer of the loading platform The copper tube abuts against the fixing sleeve 241 on the connecting frame, and as the lifting unit continues to drive the fixing sleeve 241 on the connecting frame to move downward, the spring 243 is compressed. When the spring 243 is compressed to the maximum, the lifting unit continues to drive the fixing sleeve 241, the spring 243 and the contact plate 244 to move downward. Since the copper tube on the loading platform is always in contact with the bottom of the contact plate 244, the copper tube and the contact plate 244 will exert an upward force on the connecting rod 242 in the fixing sleeve 241, thereby driving the connecting rod 242 and the detection plate 246 on the top of the connecting rod 242 to move upward close to the sensor 245 on the connecting frame. When the detection plate 246 moves upward to enter the detection area of ​​the sensor 245, the sensor 245 receives a detection signal. At this time, the layer height detection unit has dropped to the set position (that is, the position of the top copper tube that can clamp the required fixed layer height copper tube), and then the clamping unit clamps the two ends of the copper tube, and finally the lifting unit and the translation unit drive the copper tube to enter the insertion position 29 on the copper tube pushing mechanism 6;

[0084] When the contact plate 244 of the layer height detection unit is driven to the set position by the lifting unit, the bottom of the contact plate 244 does not abut against the uppermost copper tube of the loading platform, and the detection plate 246 does not enter the detection area of ​​the sensor 245. At this time, the number of layers (layer height) of the copper tubes on the loading platform does not meet the number of layers required by actual production. Then, the copper tube lifting unit 12 drives the loading platform and the copper tubes thereon to move upward toward the contact plate 244 close to the copper tube removal mechanism. After the bottom surface of the contact plate 244 abuts against the uppermost copper tube of the loading platform, the loading platform and the copper tubes thereon continue to be driven upward. , driving the detection plate 246 to move upward, the spring 243 is compressed. When the spring 243 is compressed to the maximum, as the feeding table and the copper tube continue to move upward, an upward driving force is generated on the connecting rod 242 in the fixed sleeve 241, which drives the connecting rod 242 and the detection plate 246 on the top of the connecting rod 242 to move upward. When the detection plate 246 moves upward and enters the detection area of ​​the sensor 245, the sensor 245 detects the signal of the top copper tube on the feeding table and sends the signal to the controller (the controller is the prior art). Then the clamping unit clamps the copper tube, and the lifting unit The driving connection frame, the layer height detection unit and the clamping unit copper tube lifting translation unit drive the copper tube horizontally on the mounting frame and place the copper tube on the insertion position 29; the controller raises the loading platform from the initial position to the top layer of the copper tube on the loading platform according to the obtained copper tube lifting unit 12. The lifting stroke when the copper tube rises to the set position, and combined with the known actual production setting of the total copper tube layer height and the diameter (layer height) of each layer of copper tubes, the layer height of the initial copper tube on the loading platform can be calculated to realize the detection of the copper tube layer height. For example, it is known that the height of each layer of copper tubes on the loading platform is 1cm , actual production requires that the total layer height of 40 layers of copper tubes is 40cm. In the actual detection process, the rising stroke of the loading platform from the initial position to the top layer of copper tubes on the loading platform rising to the set position is 1cm, that is, after the copper tube moves upward by 1cm (the rising stroke of the loading platform from the initial position to the top layer of copper tubes on the loading platform rising to the set position is obtained by the driving device of the copper tube lifting unit with readable stroke), sensor 245 detects the signal of the top layer of copper tube for the first time, and it can be known that the current number of copper tubes is 39 layers and the layer height is 39cm.
